Huel has not been designed as a weight loss product but can be used as part of a fat loss diet. The key point to note for fat loss is to be in a calorie deficit over time; therefore you could eat less calories than the body uses to function per day, or by expending more calories via activity and exercise. Huel can help because it’s easy to track your calorie intake, provides complex carbohydrates and essential fats, while being high in fiber and protein which can help to keep you satiated between meals.

Yes, Huel is vegan! There are no animal products in any of our product ranges.
No, Huel isn’t organic. We don’t create an organic version of our products for a couple of reasons. One of them is cost. Organic ingredients are far more expensive, and this doesn’t fit in with our mission to provide universally affordable, nutritionally complete food.
We state 'GMO-free' on the website because it's important to some consumers, whether you share the same view is another matter. In the US there are genetically modified corn, canola, and flaxseed varieties that are approved for use in foods, but we feel they offer no benefits for Huel in terms of cost, consumer acceptability and several other factors. Therefore, Huel is GMO-free.
Concerns about GMOs should be made on an individual crop and technology basis, and it's important to read a variety of scientific sources to develop a better overall view of GMOs.
The sustainable nutrition report is an assessment of Huel's performance in relation to its commitment to produce nutritionally complete food while incurring minimal environmental impact. The analysis focuses on the way we eat and the implications this has on both our health and the environment.
Read our 2020 Sustainable Nutrition Report here.
Sustainable Nutrition is food that provides essential nutrients in proportions that contribute to good health, is affordable, and produced with minimal impact on the environment to protect biodiversity, ecosystems and communities both for now and for future generations.
Like a lot of new and smaller businesses, we don’t own the farms that grow our ingredients or the factories that blend and package them. We buy our ingredients from intermediary companies who process the raw ingredients into powders.
It is really important to us that we only work with suppliers and manufacturing partners that share the same values and goals as we do. So we have done our homework.
The includes annual risk assessments for all the countries we source ingredients from and self-assessment questionnaires for supplies on their approach to the protection of human rights and the environment within their own organisation and supply chain. Huel are also members of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex).
We want all our suppliers to meet an internationally recognised sustainability standard and help us to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. And as we get to know our ingredient suppliers better, we hope to work in partnership to increase productivity and resource efficiency whilst also protecting their livelihoods, working conditions and the environment.

Please note, when adding single items to your order (e.g., single bottle of Ready to Drink, or Complete Nutrition Bar), these can have a minimum of 1 month left before the Best Before End (BBE) date.
If you receive any product with a shelf-life of less than 3 months, or in the case of single items, less than 1 month, please do not hesitate to contact us so that we can assist you.

Absolutely! Generally speaking, in order to lose 1lb of fat, you need to consume 500 calories less than you need per day and to gain 1lb of fat, you should eat 500 calories more. Huel is a great way to accurately calculate your calorie intake while ensuring you’re not compromising on nutrition.Take a look at our Guide to Fat Loss or Guide to Gaining Weight to get started.
The skepticism of liquid diets is often due to lack of chewing (therefore leading to incomplete digestion). Digestion does begin with chewing; it starts the breakdown of solid food to increase the surface area.
However, with liquid diets, this has already been done for you. Huel has fine milled oats as the carb source, which are a lot easier to break down further than whole oats. Also, peristalsis remains active throughout the alimentary canal, as we’ve addressed this with good levels of soluble and insoluble fibers in Huel.
Yes, Huel products can suit those with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. As with all food, if you're using medication or following specific dietary recommendations to help control your diabetes, you should appropriately structure your intake of Huel products. Which products you choose depends on your needs and preferences.
Our products are made from oats and are high in fiber. As with all food, if you're using medication to help control your diabetes, you should structure your intake of Huel appropriately. Huel Powder and Ready-to-drink are low in sugar, have a low-GI and you can accurately measure the amount of carbohydrate you're consuming each meal; this may be useful depending on what medication or insulin regimen you're following.
The contribution of total energy intake that comes from carbohydrate is between 35% and 42% – depending on the Huel product – levels that tie in well with American Diabetes Association recommendations. Indeed, for diabetics who count their carbs to help manage their blood glucose levels (as detailed on the American Diabetes Association website), please look at the Nutrition information of Huel; for example, a 2 scoop meal of Huel Powder provides 46g of carbohydrate.
If you've had surgery on your esophagus or stomach, which has resulted in partial or total removal, you may still benefit from having Huel Hot & Savory, Powder, and Ready-to-drink. Follow the guidance you've been given as you would for other foods. One symptom you should have been made aware of by medical staff is dumping syndrome. This is where the transit time for food will be much quicker and could cause rebound hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). However, to be cautious, we recommend you keep your servings smaller and spread throughout the day. Obviously this depends on your requirements and if you're consuming Huel for 100% of your nutrition. If you’re having 100% Huel, we suggest you work up to this level over 1-2 weeks rather than going straight to a 100% intake.
Some gastrointestinal surgery can result in reduced absorption and increased requirements for certain nutrients, so we recommend you discuss Huel with your clinical staff before making it a regular part of your diet.
Absolutely. Most Huel products are fine to have during pregnancy, but should be limited to one serving per day as there are different nutritional requirements during this period.
Mothers are told not to have too much vitamin A, nor to use vitamin A supplements during pregnancy. The amount of vitamin A in Huel meets the U.S recommended intake requirement and is lower than typical intakes of people who consume a varied diet, and far lower than levels that have been shown to be safe during pregnancy.
We suggest that you discuss this with your doctor or midwife, especially if mothers are also taking a prenatal, in case there are any clinically-specific reasons why they wouldn’t be suitable.
Please note: due to the high levels of vitamins and minerals, Huel Daily Greens is NOT suitable for use during pregnancy or for nursing mothers.
Consuming Huel Powder and Huel Ready-to-drink may be okay if your diverticular disease is in remission, but we do advise caution and discuss Huel with your doctor before making it a regular part of your diet. If you're in an active diverticulitis phase, the ground flaxseed may get caught up in diverticular pockets and cause irritation, so we suggest avoiding Huel products. Please note that Huel Hot & Savory is unsuitable if you have diverticulosis (both in remission and active).
Yes. Huel is safe for children above 4 years of age to include in moderation as part of a balanced, varied diet, but please give our Children, Adolescents and Huel guide a read. Huel is not suitable for babies or infants below or during weaning age as there are different nutritional requirements for this age group.
Huel products contain proteins derived from pea. While peas may be high in histamine in their natural form, Huel uses a pea protein isolate and almost everything else, including histamine, is removed in the process. Huel Powder is therefore low histamine. One note regarding our Coffee Caramel Huel Black Edition. This flavor also contains less than 0.5 mg of histamine per serving.
Huel Powders can be a suitable food option for an individual with IBS as it is low FODMAP. However, we recommend starting with half a serving (one scoop) and seeing how you tolerate it due to the fiber content. Additionally, as quantity is also important to consider with IBS and FODMAPs, some people may wish to limit their intake to no more than 2 scoops per serving.
Of note, Huel Instant Meals, Huel Ready to Drink, Complete Protein and Complete Nutrition Bar are not low FODMAP so they may not be suitable for some people who have IBS.
Yes! The vitamin and mineral blend in our Huel products is included to bump up the vitamins and minerals that aren't there in sufficient amounts to meet the recommended intake. Some vitamin and mineral supplements aren't absorbed well, but this is due to the pill's contents or the form of the micronutrient used in the blend. All forms used in the Huel vitamin and mineral blend are readily absorbed to provide adequate nutrition. Read more about the Vitamins and Minerals in Huel.
Some people don’t like the inclusion of sucralose in our Huel products as it’s an artificial sweetener. We use sucralose for a number of reasons:
We do offer an Unflavored & Unsweetened Huel Powder which doesn't contain any sucralose, and Huel Black Edition contains all-natural sweeteners.
Hot & Savory doesn't contain any sweetener.
Yes. Our combination of different protein sources in our Huel products means they have a perfect Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0. This is the same score as other animal-based proteins and is more than enough to ensure all essential amino acids are supplied and that the protein in Huel Powder has high bioavailability.Read more about protein in our Guide to Protein, Digestion and Absorption.
Huel Hot & Savory has a GI of:
Tomato & Herb - 23
Thai Green Curry - 19
Mexican Chilli - 31
Huel Powder (Vanilla) has a GI of 16.
Huel Black Edition (Vanilla) has a GI of 19.
Huel Ready-to-drink (Vanilla) has a GI of 25.
